rcain: mostly catchup to begin with. The Sydney experiment is the first copper coil polywell outside of EMC2: http://prometheusfusionperfection.com/2009/12/25/new-copper-coil-polywell-on-the-scene/ I think it's doable on my budget. BenTC: Maybe these open source DAQ tools are useful. I don't know. I...

I think the easiest and most beneficial obstacle to tackle is LabView. I've already wired up many physical sensors, but I'm struggling on the software side. I could do so much more with the physical setup I already have. It's really been frustrating me. A new license of LabView Base is $1,249. Maybe...

Hey guys, let me start by saying it's encouraging to see your enthusiasm. It means more than you might realize. These last few months have been rough. Without even a minimal operating budget I have been stuck. Beyond that I've had to borrow money from friends just to pay rent and food. But that's al...

Here is a rough draft of a superconducting magrid with a vacuum insulated heat shield.

Thermal modeling -- request for help
The fusor's red hot grid reminds me I can't ignore heating from ion bombardment as we design a superconducting polywell. This won't cut it: http://prometheusfusionperfection.com/2009/09/30/superconducting-magrid-irl/ The inner core of the magrid must stay at liquid nitrogen temperatures, while the e...

Did another fusion run last night. I used twitter as an experiment log: http://twitter.com/famulusfusion We got a single bubble during an 8 minute run. Calibration on the bubble detector label: BD-PND, 25 b/mrem(2.3 b/uSv) I'm working on the neutron rate calculations now. We may have experienced som...

FIRST FUSION!!!!!!!!!!!
Great news!!!!!!!!!
Prometheus Fusion Perfection has FUSED THE ATOM.
Take a look at the bubbles:

So far the comments section on my blog have worked really well. Time after time I've posted about a problem or cross roads, and received feedback that leads to a solution. But in general the comments only work if the right people are reading the blog on the regular (currently getting about 100 - 300...

Physical Reactor
neutron starr:
My goal is to build a working physical reactor. Nothing informs like actually doing it (not to say that computer simulations are not valuable).
Also worth a note: I received the YBCO superconducting cable today:

NPO
zbarlici: Prometheus Fusion Perfection is currently a for-profit C corporation. I'm not opposed to establishing an NPO. But there may be advantages to being a for-profit, such as accepting private capital. Establishing a NPO would also require some paper pushing. However, I'm definitely opensourcing...
